5.2 Command Protocol
The remote control uses a simple ASCII command protocol similar to the host RS485 adapter. Below
are some key points about the serial control:
•
8-bit, 115200 baud, 1 stop bit and no parity.
•
All remote control commands start with a single apostrophe sign (0x27) followed by a character
in the range 0x30-0x3f and finish with a carriage return (0x0d).
•
When the remote control is first powered a discovery command of '0<CR> (0x27, 0x30, 0x0d)
is repeated until any button is pressed or an ACK character (0x06) is received from the camera.
The status LED will blink during this process.
Table 12 shows the character values for each button on the membrane keyboard. Some advanced users
can integrate these commands into other RS485 equipment to control 2KSDI-Mini cameras.
